Catching RFW here at a S9+ and great audio playing "High" by Feeder at 0105 with ID at 0108. Thanks Comrade's! Sounding great here! If you are doing requests, how about some Chili Peppers? THANKS COMRADES FOR PLAYING "WALKABOUT'!!!!!!
Tuned in to the Twente SDR to catch RFW hopefully and caught The Bird Calls at 0110 at a S7. Tried again at 0130 and it was gone and catching RFW punching thru the noise. Going over the "Big Pond" comrades! ;D

Extremely strong S9+ signal at 0052 sign on. Very good for most of the broadcast, getting a bit weaker near the end. Thanks for the show!

heard last night, was so excited that i recorded it to replay it this morning.
s9 great solid signal, very minor fades, no local qrm, great audio quality.
great banter, to me represents the essence of pirate radio broadcasting.
thanks, Dick Weed and the other guy :).

Was  listening to this last night on a PL-880 while digging post holes for a fence move.  This is part of the Great Antenna Feed Improvement Project, as I need to replace several aging coax cables.  Generally at fair level here on the portable.

Thanks for keeping me company!
